Manuel Zelaya is back in Honduras, the ousted president told a Honduran TV station today, prompting thousands of his supporters to gather outside the UN building in the capital to celebrate. “I am here for the restoration of democracy, to call for dialogue,” Zelaya declared. The US State Department confirmed Zelaya’s return, though the country’s current de facto ruler denied it.

Zelaya wouldn’t say exactly where in the Tegucigalpa he was, but when a senior aide said he was inside the main UN building, as many as 4,000 supporters gathered outside, shouting “Yes, we did it!” Interim de facto president Roberto Micheletti called the reports “media terrorism,” insisting Zelaya remained "in a suite in a hotel in Nicaragua."

Jay, my invitation to a reasonable, frank discussion of politics still stands. If you'd like to argue your points as to why the Obama government in particular is responsible for the situation in Honduras, I'd be more than happy to debate you.

Honduras should send in their military to put a cap in the man to end his Communist ambitions once and for all.

Because, joe, US interests are not with the people. Only the corporations who do business there. The people are always expendable to US interests and someone like Zelaya is against that. It's funny how opposing US ideology is all grouped under "leftism". Oh and jayster, Obama is a Liberal but I'd hardly call him a leftist, or funnier still, a marxist like you keep saying. You know a lot about your own ideology, maybe try learning about something you don't like and what the words actually mean before you go around calling everyone them.
